The Cliff Walk of Newport, Rhode Island

USA – A ride out from the port just out to the other end of town brings us onto quite a famous 3½ mile cliff walk. We see here the late autumn trees that colour so beautiful in this part of the world but alas, we missed all of that after storms over the last weeks took their toll. We do this walk on a good surfaced path that switches sometimes over some pretty dodgy boulders on the shore edge past some 64 of the most impressive villas and mansions in the state, each one in its small park but surrounded by high fences to keep us prying tourist as far away as possible - except that is, for the ones that open their doors for paying tours. See PiP for an example.
